Atlanta, GA asked in Immigration Law for Georgia

Q: Invitation for Parents to visit in US

I am currently on L1 visa in US. Visa and I 94 valid till March 2019. I had lost my passport with stamped visa, last year. I now have a new passport issued. Can I issue invite letter for my Parents for visiting in US. Have all other documents from time of Visa (I797, I129S etc.)

Alternatively, can my wife (on L2 visa) invite them. Is there a risk with daughter in law inviting instead of son? Thanks much.

A: Your in-laws come, invitation or not. While it is nice to submit an official invite that they can take with them to the interview, he biggest challenge for them will be showing that they have sufficient connections to their country of origin—family, assets, employment, school, that sort of thing.
